?'s Regarding Verizon (and The Other Nazi Phone Companies)

[matcom]

First. Who the FUCK do I bitch to over this 'revelation'?

Second. Did they send out a 'release' that they would be doing this? (honestly don't remember)

Third. ISN'T IT AGAINST THE FUCKING LAW TO PROVIDE THE BROWN SHIRTS WITH MY DATA WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME FIRST?????

:grr:

1. You bitch right here

(to the extent that it makes you feel better...)

Next, get on the horn to your reps. Just called mine, and their phones are ringing off the hook. The more the merrier.

3. We need a class action lawsuit - NOW

I have no clue how to go about doing that, but maybe the legally savvy members of DU can tell us.

5. What about those privacy notices they send us?

Is there something in the small print where they give themselves the "right" to do this?

And is there any sort of proviso that lets us opt out?

6. We Are Living In A Post-12/12/2000 World

On that day, the rights of the citizenry were abolished forever.

They are the consumer-facing folks, and will probably have to issue a statement defending their actions.
